Interview to the client (Answers)
What current problem do you have?
The students and teachers who do not have any IB experiences, they do not know the process for the extended essay.

How would you like to solve it?
Develop a website or handout for students and teachers to help them understand about the extended essay.

What form of product would you prefer?
Although IBO sets some guidelines and manuals but we want more user-friendly document. Things that everyone can be accessed. E.g. checklist, video.

Do you think the problem temporary or the other way round?
Yes, because this problem is on going every year.

How did previous BISS IB coordinator deal with this issue?
Mr.Melduren had an information session with grade 11 students. Also he gave students a website (wikispaces) and provide a guideline from IBO.

What are the specific information you want to include in the product?
  • Outline for what is the extended essay is all about
  • The process
  • Timeline
  • The structure of the extended essay
  • What students need to include in their extended essay (requirements, subjects criteria etc)
  • Subject specific information
